The new improved body armor

Nice but does it stop them at point blank range? I heared somewhere that the latest bullet proof vests can stop a AK 47 bullet at 50 m. Is this vest the one from that source possibly?

yeah the bullet proof vest u mention that can stop the 7.62 rounds fire by AK 47s is the interceptor body armor. its design to protect the primary organs above the torso. but its disadvantage is no protection on the legs and arms. thats where the new all body protection comes in.

I did notice that later part deltaboy but how well does it stop AK 47 bullets? At 50 m range or closer/futher?
